Even though our host told us that we could stay at the Chicken House for the entire day of our checkout day, we decided to just pack everything early in the morning and head out. The Chicken House was about thirty minutes away from Carmel Village and the village is on the way back home so it didn't make sense to leave our stuff behind to go back there again after breakfast.
The Running Iron was the other place that we heard from our host about so we decided to have breakfast over there. It was a restaurant and a saloon so the place had this very interesting look to it.
Q got the Bacon and Eggs breakfast with some sliced oranges and potatoes.
I got the Fried Egg sandwich, also with the oranges and potatoes. I'm not really a fan of sandwiches but I wanted to get something different from what Q have.
The food was satisfying and the portions were huge (at least for us).
The weather was perfect so we were seated outside. After our meal, I used their bathroom so I got a view of the interior of the restaurant. It was even more interesting inside! I'm really curious as to how they collected so many cowboy things, especially the boots. Are the owners real cowboys? Are these items part of their history? Now that I look back on it, I could have asked someone working there but I was too astonished at the time.
I've been to nicely decorated (sometimes themed) restaurant but the bathroom disappoints in some of them. This restaurant isn't like that. Even the bathroom followed the overall theme of the place and I would have taken more pictures but there was ongoing traffic in the bathroom and I didn't want to seem like an unreasonable tourist, if not a creeper. Here's one picture I managed to take when I had like ten seconds of alone time in there.
When I got out, Q was ready to go. He paid for the bill already and everything. We really enjoyed our Carmel trip and it was a bittersweet feeling to go. We loved our "vacation" from busy LA but at the same time, it felt so wrong to stay longer since we both have stuff to do. Besides, we can't stay somewhere too long or else the special feeling we get from being in new places will get old. It was time to go home.
